Instead, the selectors picked a new-look 16-member team under Rashid Latif for the three-nation tri-series against South Africa and Sri Lanka scheduled to be played in the Gulf emirate from April 1 to 10.

this team makes no sense. saeed anwar had a good tournament, and why would they drop all of their pacers esp. shoaib? why doesn't this team tour bangladesh instead of india and south africa. of course we would get whipped by it as well.
